Zoroastrian and Hindu scriptures: Aryan, Saka, Sakya, Scythian, Tibet

Scythians and Sarmatians (Iranian Peoples) : theravada

You would be interested to read. Some things to consider:

Who are the Aryans?

The Indo-Iranian group whose members composed the Zoroastrian scriptures, the Avesta, and the Hindu scriptures such as the Vedas, called themselves Aryans (Airya/Airyan in the Avesta and Arya/Aryan in the Vedas).
The Zoroastrian and Hindu scriptures are the only known ancient texts that contain references to Aryans...

The languages of the two scriptures, the Zoroastrian Avesta and Hindu Rig Veda, are similar but not identical, indicating that at the time of their composition, the people of the Avesta and the Rig Veda were related and close neighbours...

The two Indo-Iranian Aryan groups eventually ceased to be close neighbours. They separated and migrated to present day India and Iran, becoming Indians and Iranians in the process... 

What I know is - Aryan moon worshipers and Aryan sun worshipers went separate ways. Some of them got to northern India and became Indo-Aryans. They were definitely not Scythians. Aryans are not Scythians.

Sakya is spelling, and Sakiya is the pronunciation as “Sakiyani sākiyānī : (f.) a woman of the Sākya race.” Same to Aryan pronounced as Ariyan. Probably Sakya (Sa-Kya) is also a right pronunciation, not developed later. But the pronunciation does not seem to have any relationship to Saka or Scythian.Aryan Prehistory

the Farvardin Yasht 13.87, recounts that Aryan prehistory started with Gaya Maretan, founder of the Aryan nation. The Shahnameh states that he was the first Aryan King and that during his reign, people lived in the mountains (also see Aryan homeland location: Mountains - Hara Berezaiti) and wore animal skins and leaves. ...

 Probably they dug caves to live inside the mountains. 

During the Age of Hushang, the Aryans developed agriculture and furthered the domestication of animals and - two elements essential for the development of settled, civilized societies ...

The Age of Hushang was therefore the start of the Metal Age in Aryan history. However, unlike other metal ages which started with the processing of copper, Aryan and Saka legends place the use of gold before the use of copper in Central Asia - possibly even a few thousand years earlier. 

Aryan and Saka, two different groups 

Chapter 12: The Worship of the Sun Among the Aryan Peoples of Antiquity - The Worship of Nature

The Indians of the Vedic age personified and to some extent worshipped the sun under various names, of which the chief were Surya and Savitri or Savitar.5 It is under these two different appellations that the sun is chiefly celebrated in the Rig-veda,

India Iran Historical Links

21. The Iranian Surya (sun god) wearing a long coat with a sacred girdle and knee-high boots was worshipped by Indian kings. He had a special name Mundirasvami and the word Mundira is found in ancient Iranian texts from Khotan. The Modhera temple in Gujarat and Munirka village in Delhi remind of the name Mundira. The Sun God at Konarak, Orissa is famous in his Iranian drapery and boots. The royal priests of this royal surya were of Iranian descent like SakadvipiyaBrahmanas, or Mishra (in which th of AvestaMithra became sh).[33]

Median Empire - Crystalinks

The Medes were an ancient Iranian people... arrival to the region is associated with the first wave of Iranian tribes in the late second millennium BCE (the Bronze Age collapse) through the beginning of the first millennium BCE.

Iran Chamber Society: History of Iran: Common Origin of Croats, Serbs and Jats

The name Sarmatian is an Anglicization of the original Sauro Matii, the Latin form of the Prakrit Surya Madra or Surya Mada. The name means "Solar Medes", in English, another testimony to the worship of Surya, or Cyrus, the Asshur of Assyria, the Ahura Mazda of the Zoroastrians, the splendid Sun-god of the Iranic peoples.

...

Scythians – A sub family of Aryans | INQUISITION: 

...the ARYANS and SCYTHIAN.  There has been a substantial finding by many scholars, who classify Scythians as a sub-family of  Aryans. As these Scythian were the Eastern European-Indo-Iranian proto people who migrated into north India in 2 century BC. There is always a likelihood of being identified differently from the original Aryan natives in India who have been living there since 4ooo BC. ( at least of what is known.) ... 

If ancient Aryans (Sakyas) lived in northern India since 4000 BC, then compare this with the Medics or Surya Medics and their arrival to northern Iran by 2000 BC as stated above.  Sakya might not be related to Surya Madas. 

Aryan Saka, Scythia & Scythians

Where Have all the Saka Gone? Saka & Turkic Peoples: 

Today, the traditional Saka lands around the southern banks of the Aral Sea and along the banks of the Syr Darya River (northern Uzbekistan and southern Kazakhstan), are inhabited by a people who speak a Turkic/Altaic language and who are sometimes called the Turkoman... However, the appearance of the Turkic peoples and the establishment of the Turkic language in these areas is a relatively modern phenomenon... The Altai-Turks made up the bulk of the invading forces. After the Mongol invasions led by Genghis Khan (c. 1162-1227 BCE), Altai-Turkic peoples quickly poured in to the conquered lands displacing the aboriginal Saka and Turanian inhabitants

The Sakyas lost war and moved to a new region. The Sakyas found Kapila (also see this book on page 184 - Chapter IX), built their city and named it Kapilavattu in probably between 600-700 BC. 

Aryan Saka, Scythia & Scythians: 

[Reader's need to make allowance that many ancient and modern writers were and are not scientific or circumspect in their writing. Many filled the gaps in their information with their imagination or skewed information to support a political or racial motive. For instance, Greek writers added to their substantive and convoluted mythology that the nations of Persia (and Media) were formed by Greek gods. Expropriators of The Irano-N. Indian Aryan heritage (including symbols) claim eastward migrations of their 'race'. Other machinations had the Caucasus Mountains as a birthplace of the white Caucasian 'race'. At one time, the Soviet Russians actively promoted the concept of eastward 'Scythian' migrations perhaps to bolster their imperial acquisition of the once Saka lands in Central Asia...

Did Kapila the name of the ascetic come from Kapila the name of a plant? 

Kapila (page 138): Kamala consists of the red glands that form on the fruit of this tree, which grows throughout tropical India. The drug is a red, heavy powder, somewhat gritty, insoluble in water, but partly dissolving, with an orange color, in alcohol. This drug is used as an anthelmintic. Formerly employed as a dye for silk and wool, it has been almost entirely replaced by aniline dyes.

Zoroastrian Heritage: Iranian-Aryan Connections with Western Tibet

 Tucci and Samuel further state that the objects bear a striking resemblance to those found in the western Iran province of Luristan / Loristan indicating a connection if not a trading relationship between the Iranian and Tibetan cultures along the Aryan Trade routes. Luristan straddles the Zagros Mountains. The bronze objects are dated from the first to the second millennium BCE and are thought to have been made by the area's Kassite inhabitants (see Luristan Bronzes by Donald Wilber). 

Where Is Australia Secretly Going?

Alert! Obama Is Trying to Bypass Congress on the (TPP) Trans Pacific Partnership! 

This is the big problem. It’s like broad daylight robbery of American companies like Monsanto to rob whatever they want (of course just what they have done to American people, etc.) and I wonder how EU, Japan and Australian governments would be buying it. It’s the takeover of sovereignty from the people, and handed it to these corporations.  

About the TPP negotiations

Trans Pacific Partnership

Abbott stands by Trans-Pacific Partnership

All Australian political parties might accept it. Isn’t it about selling Australia?! Is this the future of Australia? The rich will be everything and people will be nothing. Australian government is too small and it has no chance to deny it - The same to other parties?!

Obama is now a salesman (?!) and different leaders are buying from him… G20 is just that! 

President Obama was talking mainly to his American base, and to the Republican Party in particular to work on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. His vision is an agreement that will abolish government regulation of the environment, abolish regulation of banking, and implicitly nullify the Dodd-Frank Act. If a bank misbehaves or a government requires higher reserve requirements, then under the new international law that Mr. Obama is pushing, the government have to pay the private bank as if it weren’t regulated. And if a government imposes environmental fines on a company for polluting the environment, the government will have to pay the company whatever it would have made if it didn’t have any such fines.

In political science and sociology, elite [dominance] theory is a theory of the state which seeks to describe the power relationships in contemporary society. The theory posits that a small minority, consisting of members of the economic elite, policy-planning networks (which include not only think tanks, but also part of academia, see Econned) and selected members of "professional class", holds the most political power and that they acquire this power bypassing the democratic elections process and are able to hold into it for a long time (see Two Party System as polyarchy).

Through positions in corporations and corporate boards, as well as the influence over the policy-planning networks through financial support of foundations`` or positions with think tanks or policy-discussion groups, members of the "elite" are able to exert dominant power over the policy decisions of the corporations in their own favor (outsized bonuses is just one example here) and subdue the national governments to the interests of those corporations. A recent example of this can be found in the Forbes Magazine article [1] (published in December 2009) entitled The World's Most Powerful People, in which Forbes lists the 67 people, which the editors consider to be the most powerful people in the world (assigning one "slot" for each hundred million of humans). http://www.softpanorama.org/Skeptics/Political_skeptic/Elite_theory/index.shtml

Australian Liberal Party has appeared to have chosen this Elite Domination ideology as its main policy. Recent political developments, Liberal’s policies on education etc. indicate there is a possible hidden policy/agenda they are working for. I wish they don't!

Australian Building Styles and Culture Research -NGO

Having European influences is a nice thing as Australian heritage. Australia has European heritages because most Australians have the European backgrounds. Australian cultural heritages are special to Australian people and good to preserve. Nobody want to build like these things anymore but they have history to tell. Every building has a story to tell but national heritages have special stories worth to learn from and taken into a new phase. They are there and should be around for as long as a country exists. It must have resources to maintain them even if they are in expensive locations good for redevelopment ideal for economic application. Even if nobody visits these sites, they should exist because they have histories. A country should keep producing such special buildings as its culture. However, it's not enough only to have special buildings.

It would be wonderful if there is an non governmental organization focusing on building styles in Australia and its primary work is the research and design development on architecture and building types for Australian culture and Australian conditions because every people and every country should have unique culture, style, ideology and identity formed with culture, style and ideology that the entire nation can identify itself with. There are real advantages in having such identity.

A country can choose to have own cultural styles and ideology. Some countries deliberately gave up their identities. Some countries have been forced to compromise and accept foreign identity.

Some countries reestablished their identity after they lost it to certain ideological influence and avoided from being controlled by a foreign authority. Some countries avoided losing their identity by manipulating or creating the counterfeit version of the outside influence which was too powerful to defy. Why did they do that?

There are real advantages in having own identity. It is about the maturity of a country. It displays the cultural development, rich ideology and the real strength of its people. Identity employs the people so it's economically necessary. Identity moves the people with cultural activities. Identity gives the strength to the unity of a people so they can last long as they have the ideology and chauvinism to defend themselves. Identity represents a people who they actually are. It is cultural identity. It is more meaningful than I can ever think of.

Uniqueness has made some cultures to be respected, to come and learn from and to be pursued and followed. It is good for the people who have them in terms of acceptance and economy. Identity can unify a people of different groups. It is not impossible to make a different group to follow another group's identity. However, if only a common identity is there for them, they could be more united.

Instead of borrowing styles from all over the world, it will be great if the people are interested in having their own unique designs, architecture and building types. It is a bad habit only to borrow and not developing own because copying doesn't make self esteem but the opposite. The whole world but some have little to show off their cultures. Yet, it's still a time when copying is rampant.

Australia is a very special country in science and knowledge. It can have its own unique designs not found elsewhere. Naturally such distinction in culture is a gradual process. Moving the whole country is not simple and easy. But there is easier one to start with. It is home design which the Australians can gradually adapt. This is by no means making a point that existing designs and styles are inferior.

Not driven by economy and commercial interest, a non profit organization can exist to be developing new building designs just right for Australia with Australian features if the governments and the industry are helping, especially ABCB. This can produce some Australian designs. It can also produce architects and building designers specializing in such designs. Not just adapting BCA but also developing designs can be beneficial in long term.

To employ young designers and students of architecture for work experience and further training in environmental and cultural education, solely about Australia with its regional context, this organization will become very supportive and a very important employer. If it employs, with award level wages, many new designers will find something to do, have experience and earn. It's possible to employ a hundred or more graduates both from TAFE and university. If all states and territories support this organization in their own areas, they can give jobs to new designers. These designers will one day produce very fine cultural artifacts. Instead of becoming unemployed and live of newstart income, the federal government can employ these youths with the same amount of support. It is possible to attract some of the best students and (retired) professionals.

Multiculturalism is good. However, it shows the lack of commonness or the identity which represents all. The identity that is justified to represent all should not bias.

Let’s Meet At Alice Springs

The future reality is quite predictable and inevitable. Only countries with realistic preparations will be able to keep their desired destinations. The economy and modern lifestyles that are heavily relying on energy efficiency and affordability will demand more energy for sustainable productivity. Design, technology and good planning will help the leaders with clear vision of the future reality to be able to use their full capabilities. Population planning and infrastructure planning will make everything different. Australia can be different because of its great potentials. They are unique to Australia as opportunities. Domestic structures and domestic production and consumption might become more important during the low time of international economy.  

Sustainable population growth is a solution for economy. Should Australia invite more immigrants who want to stay as Australian citizens or foreign citizens or just visiting and doing business from here? Australia could provide residential and business venues that are not any lesser quality than anywhere in China and the Middle East.

Empty buildings in modern ghost towns aside, success stories should be looked into. Australia can take similar achievements. That depends on how fast Australian businesses can change from producing the products for export to producing the products needed domestically in a short period whenever international economy is down. But that’s not possible unless there are a huge number of visitors coming in for all reasons, especially for shopping for the products they can’t online and elsewhere. Although that’s the solution, how can Australia do to bring them in?

The vast land mass of Australia is both for now and future because of its desirable characters:

Yes, Australia can. It has a good selling point – transparent politics. A recent good economic management must be an example for foreigners not to overlook Australia in the future whence this is one of Australia’s strengths.

Yes, the stability of the natural environment, social environment and political environment are quite above average for desirability for settlement, for visiting, for educating the young and for doing business. The point is Australian population will (and must) grow gradually. It has to cope with such growth and dealing with aging population. Australia needs population growth that is not for environmental disaster.

Yes, Australia can say this is a safe haven for good people.

 The value of Australian currency is also not too high at the moment – it should be. Once Australia stops exporting the natural resources, other than coal, that are now on demand, Australian economy will become only to base on the smart brains. Exports of Australian products to the world will be based on arts, engineering and designs that come from human resources. The current high value in currency is good for now although being “over-valued” is not. The economic nature is – it needs stability in everything – including currency. When Australia has to focus more on visitors, it must have its currency value that is welcoming the visitors.

But that cannot happen without the right planning: in building future towns and in the kind and quality of architecture. They are also vital to make Australia a secure place, both in economic sustainability and in environmental sustainability, in the future.

Future security of energy can come from Australian solar sector. The right planning must include energy security and affordability. Renewable energy can also be very affordable if the costs in infrastructure are low. Energy exists where sunlight exists, and wind too, in the Australian desert. It’s the place geographically and geologically stable, and inviting from the future.

The true challenge for developing into the desert is salinity – not the heat. But the dryness of the desert can be a favour to such developments.

Affordability will come from living inside energy field – i.e. the desert. Australia is a dry place but it can afford to have sufficient water. Although draught is a challenge for Australia, it’s not as bad as floods that usually cause most expensive destructions in Australia. If Australia can harvest all flood water it gets annually without depriving its natural environment, its need for water is not a problem anymore. That will need lots of dams and underground dams. But dams too must not become environmental disaster. As there might be no underground rivers in the desert, these underground dams are for storing the excesses of flood water. Long reservoirs that are built under the roads, just to reduce the costs from building infrastructures separately, will have good capacity for water supply. Australia could even afford to have farmlands that don’t irrigate the river water (too much).

When developing into the desert, underground reservoirs will be where to store these excessive amounts of water. Roads, railways, powerlines, water pipelines, telecommunication lines, and other services can incorporate together in one single structure. That means it’s the best to build them in straight line. They are to come from all major cities and they can meet somewhere in the middle of the desert. High rise and low buildings can be built along them with the right pace and space with greenhouse parks and other civilian infrastructures.

Wherever a traveller wants to go, just go and will be there without any mistake – only to need to make sure this way or that way. As all in straight line, construction and maintenance costs will be cheap – that means running cost will be cheap and affordable. Everything can become high speed.  To keep these advantages, there should be no branching roads etc. but only a single line from everyone major city.

Australia wants to see environmentally friendly electric cars, right? And also they must become driverless, right? As long as the computer in the car can cope, the passengers will always be safe, right? Also they must have the right speed and roads should have no traffic jam, right? The future should also be free of noisy jets, flying over our heads day and night – although we will need them for overseas, right? These are the reasons why straight line must be applied in everything. Just as much as we need straight people, we should have straight cities too.

Let the forest lands for the trees. We need them as much as we need the wildlife for national dignity, food security, water and energy. And free from major flood too. In the desert, Australia, rich with natural resources, can have solar harvesters and cities under their shades, with a-kilometre-wide roads and world’s fastest electric trains that attract the tourists who would like to have fun rides.  Those who want to live in the bush may live. Those who will need to live in modern buildings will move to these new areas whilst the population will be gradually growing. Also solar technology will become its best quality. Existing cities will dwindle in population but wealthy people may still enjoy the deep forest areas even as their private lands.

Is rebuilding Australia possible? If not, why not? If it doesn’t happen in a hundred year, it could happen in three hundred years. Australia started without a city.

As everything in straight line, everything will be seen. This is where Australian architects and designers have to put their best practices. It must be for Australians only environment because it’s for the making of Australia to have a new look. To be preserving Australianness with its roots and backgrounds, Australia must come up with a solution to achieve another unique ability for making Australian culture that includes all types of Australians and half Australians. Repeating a basic design, growing up upon it, and branching out from it, will bring up Australianness in culture. A group of leading designers and architect might come up with an agreeable foundation in Australian design to start as a seed of future Australianness in culture.

My dream is about high-rise buildings and residential buildings put together along the single line highways. Future constructions are my hope. I would like to see lots of construction. The high-rise buildings can be closer to the roads for the workers to work there and they should be kilometres apart where residential buildings locate between two skyscrapers. Those skyscrapers will have education sector, health sector, business sector, etc. The residential buildings will be placed at a distance from the main roads for good comfort.

Here energy is abundance and pollution free. Wherever geologically stable, geothermal sector can thrive too. And there will be more benefits. I just can’t think of any failure except if there was WWIII but it would be better than having major cities in blocks as we live now. Here, all city areas will be clean and free from vandalism as will be always seen. But white collar crimes would be the only things for Australia to have to fear. 

Australia will also have (enough) robots in the workforce. But all humans should be workers too that they can support reasonable lifestyles – sharing is everything, both for peace and dignity. Robots can work in the heat of the sun where it’s too much for humans. Where humans can work, robots must not become ideal tools. And that restriction is for cool Australia with its dignified population. Australia could become an important country globally. Many migrants from hi-tech countries would be attracted into Australia to call it their (second) home as affordability will be what Australia could constantly offer. Australia can be for both Australians and foreigners.

Here the quality of the right educations will become more important than ever. I hope Australian governments will invest more in the right educations and support and equip its future workforce with ever besting effort. I believe Australia will be ready for the future if not yet.

Herein, I think the business sector has been supporting the educational sector in two ways already: selecting and supporting the right students and supporting institutions for particular courses and teachers teaching these courses. In Australia, collectively or privately, I think, the way supporting and investing for the desired education is important. Investing in the future productivity guarantees stability growth. Investing morally will guarantee a good future. The brightest students from all levels of education should be able to achieve as much as they are capable of. It must not be the lack of money and the lack of facility that prevent them from achieving. Nurturing the students, who have the potentials which are definitely what the business sectors want, can ascertain to get the needed number of skilled workers. The institutions that are responsible for such skilled workers should definitely get support too so that they won’t have any shortages. The teachers who are responsible for nurturing future workforces should also get what they need and deserve. Focusing on all three – students, institutions and teachers, is necessary. I believe that investing in those who have potentials, not waiting until they show up with their achievements, is what business sector should do. This should become a normal cultural activity so these students should achieve what they have aimed to do in their lives. The participation of the parents and relatives, the government, the institutions and business should be the form of supporting the students. Investing in own children is of course natural, cultural and necessary. However, that only guarantees who will become rich later but not how the national economy should take shape to compare with the economies and skilled labours of other countries. This direct involvement is, I think, better than blindly relying on annual results of students. Instead on working on unrewarding jobs and wasting time, all students who are capable of achieving should be focusing on achieving.

AH! I forgot to consider the protesters (like myself sometimes). A single road means traffic disaster if the protesters go on the highway as it seems that’s the only place to do the blockades. I don’t know I have any solution for that at all. But it might be 300 years away from now.

The need of a cool leadership isn’t dubious. A good planning is a must. It must be to wrap the right ideas, technologies and designs together. The future is tomorrow and it’s not far away. Facing the reality needs courageous decision makers with clear visions – not the risk-takers. Australia must produce a mass of visionaries through its high standard education systems. It’s all for the better future for the human environment and natural environment Australia can’t risk losing.

Disclaimer:

With a sincere belief, I am dreaming and will keep doing so. Now all I see is the bright side of such an idea that has been developing. I write as much as I know. Although my writing seems crossing the academic highway, I don’t intend to make it get the other side that I don’t know anything about. Instead of in-depth discussion, I only intend to express my view and how I see. 

The Essence Of Reality

What is reality?

If mathematicians can describe everything in mathematical equations, they should try on reality. If everything is just physical, reality should be too.

But is it? How is it? What substances are made to perform as reality through out universe uniformly? Can this kind of physically constructed reality exist – in you, in me, in education, in science, in delusion…? Can reality be the same to all of these things both life and non-life?

If something cannot be defined or described in mathematics, or in physical structure, doesn’t it exist in reality as reality? Can’t it exist? Why can’t it exist?

Does reality exist? Why real and why not? Define that “reality” in scientific terms and phenomena, please!

Is the universe solely physical? Yes or no?

Doesn’t abstractness exist? Is abstractness also physical, as physical as atoms and elements, the colours of stars, the colours of the world, the colours of life and in physical world?

[Love is made of chemicals they say! But they never put these chemicals into a glass and said this is love!!! Why didn’t they ever do it? Because it will sound very silly and unscientific! But they keep saying love is chemicals!!! Then if two people don’t fall in love, shouldn’t they take such chemicals in a tablet form? If love is just chemicals, all problems of love affairs should have been solved long ago!!! Why don’t they do it? That will make big bucks, if love is really chemicals! They say so what they don’t believe and bother to prove.]

Must reality be physical to be in existence?

If reality needs to exist, does it need becoming physical matter? Do some matters compose reality? As matters vary, do different compositions of different matters make different realities? Hence my reality is different from others’ realities, including the universal reality?

So is it reality to you this (or that) way – only physical?

Reality is abstract. Thus, existence and life are abstract. Physical world is also abstract. And humanity is abstract in all available definitions. Why? The reason is everything seems to be abstract that even physical matters only exist with abstract as their essence. That’s the essence of reality in my view.

The reality is nobody seemed to have known the reason of an apple falling. Whence the theory is everything has not existed, it’s not fair to seek mathematical explanation or description of reality. Reality is right in front of everyone. It’s both inside and outside mind. It’s inside matters and outside matters. Reality is everything. Reality is abstract because it’s everything.

The theory of everything is reality. It cannot be described in words or images or in mathematical equations. No artists will be able to create reality. No chemists will find a way to put the chemicals to create reality. No photographers will be able to take a picture of reality. Reality is just to be known as it is. It’s the universe, the unity, the void and the infinity. It’s everything observable. Reality is everything that exists.

So somehow the existence of abstractness is not abstract at all but substantially realistic. Reality is thus abstract and can be explained in its abstractness only. As being abstract, reality is not composed and thus, is not limited to the idea of amount. Reality is unity and singularity without limit. That is infinity. Reality and infinity are one and the same. That’s how reality can exist everywhere at the same time and is not affected by local observance. Does this contradict Quantum Mechanics? I think not. I guess QM have found out how larger objects are also abstract – the projection of mind and how matters are just abstractness as their reality. Heat, cold, stiffness, softness, stickiness, binding forces, … and gravity are just abstract and as simple as just that.

It’s delusion whenever reality is not understood.

The reality of delusion is it veils the view, blindfolds the eyes, misinform the thought and veers away from reality.

Therefore, delusion is as powerful as reality to humans and other living organisms. For that good reason, once reality is found, and delusion is abandoned behind, whoever found it can become on top of the existence. And for the same reason, once reality is abandoned, and delusion is crowned, whoever lost the sense of reality can find themselves at the bottom of existence.

It’s important for us to know the reality of delusion. Education must be educating everyone about the reality of delusion. The purpose of education should be to educate about delusion and how to handle it. Let everyone become a critical thinker. The difference between human and other species is human can understand the reality of delusion.

As being invisible, colourless, shapeless, formless, scentless and tasteless, reality can be understood only by the mind. Only an abstract can understands abstractness. That’s how mind can know education. That’s how education is important to emphasize on abstractness of reality and reality of reality. That’s the reality we shouldn’t overlook.

[Reality is abstract. Abstractness is a reality. A reality is mind. Mind affects matters to behave such a way. Quantum Mechanics will be very interesting. Very interesting will be how the world be changed with new ideology in science. Science will be abstract again as it has been all along. Science of abstractness will lead the world to a better future. Better future will be with moral and the abstract side of cause and effect.]

What’s real?

The existence of abstractness is reality. The existence of physicality is abstract. Physicality is reality in its own terms and in its own right. Both abstractness and physicality are reality. The essences of them are reality but abstract. Strictly abstract!

And what’s not real? Guess!!!

Ideas! Ideas are not real. They can never become real. Concepts are not real and will never become reality. Dreams are not real. They cannot be turned into reality. Arguments are never real because of ideas, concept and argument itself. These are just ideological projections but unreal. They don’t exist outside ideological universe.

Is our universe real? Is it the existence outside the ideological universe? QM will let us know. Actually “You and I do not exist” physically because the smallest particles are formed by ideological projection. What we can feel as physicality with five senses is conditioned by our mind which is abstract. You’re your projection and your Schrödinger's cat; and I’m the projection of mine my Schrödinger's cat. We communicate with five senses plus thought formed in mind. We can communicate with one another physically because physicality is the means to communicate. Physicality is the connection used for mind to mind communication. Physicality is infrastructure set up by the mind, senses are the information travelling along the infrastructure and you and me (we are) just our minds – strictly mental only. The body is simply the infrastructure. But consciousness itself is not constant – sometimes it exists and sometimes it doesn’t. Where from it comes and how does it reappear? This is how it is hard to understand and all are seen as physical – whence physicality is conditioned by consciousness whenever it is present.

Mind is consciousness and everything mind is just feeling. When there is feeling, there is consciousness and vice versa. The reality is abstract – strictly abstract, and simply mental only. Reality doesn’t exist in physical form but in abstract form of physicality in terms of feeling when sensed by consciousness: softness, hardness, solidness, cold, heat, stickiness, wetness, dryness, etc.  (A video about consciousness)

A thing that doesn’t exist in reality has its truth as unreality – but it exists as projection of mind and is built with idea and concept as imagination. The reality that is made and formed is conditioned reality but it’s not reality that is real; it’s only the reality of conditioned reality. Reality and the conditioned reality are not the same. Conditioned reality is any or all of idea, concept, thought, dream as projection of the mind. Conditioned reality is the projected existence whence reality is the core – like the light to fire. The reality of projected reality is the light of the fire as fire exists on the fuel. Reality is the core that cannot be broken down any further. Conditioned reality is merely perception that is the projection constructed with idea, concept, thought and memorized information.

The truth or a truth of a thing is its reality or its essence. The truth of abstractness is it’s abstract and non-physical. The truth of reality is reality itself. Reality cannot be created, nor destroyed. Reality is just reality, not made and not formed.

Ego: what is ego?

Pain: what is pain?

In physical world, what is ego and pain as the reality of existence?

Ego is consciousness, feeling and sensation. An unconscious mind doesn’t show the sign of ego. Numbness doesn’t show the sign of sensation and consciousness. If the whole body is numb from injury or drug effect, even if the brain is functioning, there cannot be any sign of consciousness – in my opinion – thus, the brain might looks completely dead even if the person/animal is still alive somehow; however, internal vital organs should still be working though. When near waking up moment, sometimes some people felt they couldn’t move their limbs or other body parts– as though they were aware of their environment in half dreamy state. I wonder how the brain might look like during a moment like this. It might be active but the parts which control sensation and physical activity other than the heart and other vital organs might be inactive to cause such inability for movement.

Pain needs ego, consciousness and sensation to become into existence. A dead body doesn’t feel pain as it has no consciousness for sensation and ego. Ego is the ground for pain to sprout and grow on. Pain is sensation. In Buddhist ideology, egoless person doesn’t mentally suffer although physical pain level is unbearable to ordinary people with egos.

How should I explain evolution in terms of reality?

I have a question.

Why hasn’t how non-life matters becoming life matters been proven?

1. Scientists know how early stage of a planet might look like. The possibility appearance of early stage earth has been theorized.
2. How life might appear from non-life materials has been theorized. But no laboratory tests ever resulted in proving this theory of evolution.
3. If the way scientists think how the early stage of earth looked like, they should recreate it in laboratory. After that, they should demonstrate how life emerged from non-life materials.
4. We should want proof. As long as how life began is not solved, macroevolution has not become a reality but only a myth, merely a theory. Then it’s not right to claim evolution is the only truth whence its truth, its essence, is not yet found.
5. Agree with observable changes occur all the time as microevolution in which a species changes form, shape, size, colour, lifestyle, habitat and lifespan.
6. Yet macroevolution cannot be found in microevolution because that species doesn’t become a different species – i.e. moneys become only different monkeys, apes only become different type of apes, etc and as a conclusion, humans only become humans in different ethnicity or race.
7. Most importantly, a good stage by stage explanation is needed on how the earliest life form emerged from non-life form even if this scenario is not possible to be repeated in the laboratory. But why is it impossible? Because life didn’t come from non-life. If it did, it’s against the law of QM - imho. 

Future of Burma as Multicultural Society In Light of Buddhism and Global Enlightenment

No! I'm not against the religious freedom! 

Freedom of faith is actually everything in this very world. Humans are the being of faith and it's impossible to separate us from what we believe in. Whether a belief to last or not, whether it's realistic to have such a faith, whether it's a religious ideology or something against religions, we humans cannot exist without having something as a belief. This is not conditional but a universal truth for all living beings small or large. It's a universal truth because perception is made of memories, such as images, voices, words, thoughts and ideas. All beings are with perception to perceive information from their immediate surroundings with the five sensory organs and also from their ideas of the past and future with their mind. Whether a belief is a small one such as a cat has claws, or a big one like a religion, the basic is the same. Hence, no living organism can exist without a belief. 

A belief can be anything. It can be fantasy. A cat has claws but the cat itself is merely a form of a living thing. The core reality is hidden within the cat. But we are usually with the appearance. And here I have made a statement of my belief. I know there is no restriction upon this kind of random beliefs but religious restriction is what we generally consider with the freedom of faith. 

It's impossible to restrict people from their thoughts, whatever might be, but the visible part is what restricted for reasons as in political oppression, religious discrimination, racial discrimination and cultural discrimination. There can be other reasons too such as freedom thought and freedom of speech – i.e. oppression on intellectual expression and the practice of conscience. In brief, that is the practice which is restricted in practice – either by the law or without law. Different people have different views. It's possible that everyone has a different opinion on anything they know. Different levels of prejudgement, disagreement, discrimination and expectation are inevitable; however, the obvious level is what is considered as lack of respect, oppressive and anti-freedom in which different opinions and practices are forced to conform to the accepted ways with violent means and/or nonviolent discriminations. It’s not about a letter to the editor, resume, news, a paper should be able to write in any style or format; conformity is in everything too.

Iranian female soccer team has been seeking recognition from the world about their headscarfs. It’s a difficult issue for sure from both sides: the players in the team and the world body of soccer. The female players are trying to change the rule of soccer for women. At the same time, they’re not able to appear outside without their headscarfs. Both sides are not wrong to keep their identity. But soccer is now global. So I hope the soccer body would manage to make it global identity bringing all tother into the peaceful common ground as special events of sport and expression of prosperity. One day, I hope the world soccer games could be played in Iran too.

As being in Australia, I would be hypocrite if I oppose Burma accepting other religious groups. I’m here practising my way of faith without any supervision of any authority. Australia is a multicultural although its parliamentary debate generally starts with a religious tradition these days. Burma is naturally multicultural. It’s never been intolerant against different faiths although different individuals have different response to different faiths and beliefs. Burma never fought religious war in any religious name although partial religious wars did happen in defence of Buddhism which were actually racial wars among different ethnics. I wonder the future multicultural Burma wouldn’t be any different at all although the Buddhists are the majority – but made of the minorities whose cultural identities have been oppressed in racial ground. Buddhism is not more important than other rights they have lost because the ways they practised Buddhism have been oppressed too. Christianity, Hindu, Islam and other religions of different ethnics of Burma should be seen in the same condition. The main thing is making the country to exist in prosperity. Everything else is up to individuals whatever they want to do with their freedoms in harmony with all others. There will be no prosperity if there is oppression on freedom of faith, freedom of speech and freedom of thought. If Buddhism is practised correctly, there are no such oppressions. Buddhism comes from India via Sri Lanka to Burma. Buddhism is for all but oppression. Actually Buddhism is used for ego-expression of ethnicity – i.e. racial discrimination. Buddhism was never spread with violence because Buddhism is not aligned with violence. If Buddhism is used for ego-expression, it’s only a way to make it become pseudo-Buddhism that you can find in many a place. The Buddha said do everything good, avoid all evil action. Nobody can identify themselves as Buddhist if doing everything bad and evil. Being a Buddhist is not an identity – not acceptable identity. Buddhism is not for identity. A pseudo-Buddhist is not an actual Buddhist. Buddhism doesn’t belong to any group, nor is for any identity. The way of the Aryans, the Noble Eightfold Path, is for achieving the freedom from identity.

Of course I remember a protest during the colonial era against the officials who entered the religious places such as pagodas. We do want respect so we do need to show respect. This kind of respect is deserved by everyone, every group in the world. It’s not hard to understand. Well, let’s see what will be in the future in Burma. Rather expect all good and just do for that. The polite world has been promoting tolerance, peace and prosperity. We all should have a share in such promotion – of course for our own sake!

Of course I only like seeing the good images of the world! I’m more than aware of the ugly images as the society I come from is much of the parts of such images. It’s a worst country, a poorest country, exporting bad news, a burden of neighbouring countries, hosting the longest civil war... If Buddhism can survive in a country like this, it can survive anywhere else too although it has yet to take a good foothold elsewhere outside the traditional, historical region. I wonder how the people of Burma managed to succumb to their nightmare, actually a nightmare of the world which was not remembered by world when it was waken. As Burma needs the world for cultural development and economic opportunity, it must adapt world standards in both practice and ideology, and it will be a way of expressing a Buddhist attitude and group think. 

Burma is a society with many problems - conservatism in cultural issues will be the main problem as it is today. A decade ago, the long haired singers were banned (wtf!) as though short-haired style was Burman style! No, Burmans didn't have short hair, it was Mon and Thai people who cut their hair short. And they wanted soldier-short I guess! Being too conservative is too egocentric. Certainly women have been subject for ridicule. They are not allowed to wear whatever they want. Men were generally the trouble makers in this and women themselves were so horny to hurt each others. Maybe it is genetic problem that we are so sensitive and extreme in jealousy. Perhaps it's our education that shaped us to behave the way we do. Nature and nurture give each other a hand in enslaving our society. Do I need to say more?

From THE DEBATE OF KING MILINDHA pdf

In the Mahàparinibbàna Sutta the Buddha predicted that the city of Pàñaliputta, which was founded shortly before his death, would become a great city, “ânanda, among the towns and cities that are centres of congregation and commerce of people of the Aryan race, this new town will become the greatest city, called Pàñaliputta, a place where goods are unpacked, sold and distributed, but it will be in danger from flood, fire and internal dissension”.8 The Magadha Kingdom, of which Pàñaliputta (modern Patna) was the capital, gradually became the most powerful in all India.

In ancient time, there was a special place near palace from which the king could be informed by anyone protesting for/against something by shouting. The place was marked with a post and known in Burmese as Hit-Taine - Shouting Post and was located close enough to be heard from.
